One of the challenges in education today

I’ve recently learned how to imbed youtube videos in my blog. I know you’re impressed. Well get impressed with this!

My principal found this quote. “The illiterate of today are not those who can’t read and write, but instead those you can’t learn, unlearn, and relearn.”The times, they are a changin’Is it good?Or not?Remember The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, it’s one of my favorites. The old man Brooks gets paroled after spending most of his life in the penitentiary. He writes this letter.“Dear fellas, I can’t believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid but now they’re everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called “The Brewer”. And a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It’s hard work and I try to keep up but my hands hurt most of the time. I don’t think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is he’s okay and makin’ new friends. I have trouble sleepin’ at night. I have bad dreams like I’m falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun, an, an rob the Foodway so they’d send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I’m too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don’t like it here. I’m tired of being afraid all the time. I’ve decided not to stay. I doubt they’ll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers

What is a Rocket Surgeon?

A person with less-than-stellar aptitude. A combination of "brain surgeon" and "rocket scientist", this phrase describes a person who is neither.

Grace

Ozzie

J-Dub and I

Love my daughter

Rocky Muffin (RM)

Bob Ross= awesome
